"This is literally white supremacy’s last stand in America," she said. "This is it. This is what it looks like."

And what you had was a man who went around, he stoked every fire, he lit every branch, every branch, and just opened the floodgates.”
A lot of people took notice.
I need to know the name of the Black Woman who is commentating on CBC tonight. I want to send her some love for her bravery and honesty
Some people got emotional.
I just cried! https://t.co/7oaSP3d1OU
And many people praised her for her statement.
This woman is calling out white supremacy on Canadian national television and she is amazing
Moodie-Mills said that she had reached a breaking point. "This is the moment that I said... yeah, my truth can't be held back anymore."
